This adds method and tests for writing to a PDB stream. With
this, even a PDB stream which is discontiguous can be treated
as a sequential stream of bytes for the purposes of writing.

To facilitate this, a couple of changes had to be made:
1. `ModuleSubstream` got moved from `DebugInfo/PDB` to
`DebugInfo/CodeView`, and various codeview related types are defined
there. It turns out `DebugInfo/CodeView/Line.h` already defines many of
these structures, but this is really old code that is not endian aware,
doesn't interact well with `StreamInterface` and not very helpful for
getting stuff out of a PDB. Eventually we should migrate the old readobj
`COFFDumper` code to these new structures, or at least merge their
functionality somehow.
2. A `ModuleSubstream` visitor is introduced. Depending on where your
module substream array comes from, different subsets of record types can
be expected. We are already hand parsing these substream arrays in many
places especially in `COFFDumper.cpp`. In the future we can migrate these
paths to the visitor as well, which should reduce a lot of code in
`COFFDumper.cpp`.

We have need to reuse this functionality, including making
additional generic stream types that are smarter about how and
when they copy memory versus referencing the original memory.
So all of these structures belong in the common library
rather than being pdb specific.

Summary:
This code is intended to be used as part of LLD's PDB writing. Until
that exists, this is exposed via llvm-readobj for testing purposes.
Type stream merging uses the following algorithm:
- Begin with a new empty stream, and a new empty hash table that maps
from type record contents to new type index.
- For each new type stream, maintain a map from source type index to
destination type index.
- For each record, copy it and rewrite its type indices to be valid in
the destination type stream.
- If the new type record is not already present in the destination
stream hash table, append it to the destination type stream, assign it
the next type index, and update the two hash tables.
- If the type record already exists in the destination stream, discard
it and update the type index map to forward the source type index to
the existing destination type index.

This introduces a variadic template and some helper macros to
safely and correctly deserialize many types of common record
fields while maintaining error checking.

Summary: This diff is the initial implementation of the LLVM CodeView library. There is much more work to be done, namely a CodeView dumper and tests. This patch should help others make progress on the LLVM->CodeView debug info emission while I continue with the implementation of the dumper and tests.
This library implements support for emitting debug info in the CodeView format. This phase of the implementation only includes support for CodeView type records. Clients that need to emit type records will use a class derived from TypeTableBuilder. TypeTableBuilder provides member functions for writing each kind of type record; each of these functions eventually calls the writeRecord virtual function to emit the actual bits of the record. Derived classes override writeRecord to implement the folding of duplicate records and the actual emission to the appropriate destination. LLVMCodeView provides MemoryTypeTableBuilder, which creates the table in memory. In the future, other classes derived from TypeTableBuilder will write to other destinations, such as the type stream in a PDB.
The rest of the types in LLVMCodeView define the actual CodeView type records and all of the supporting enums and other types used in the type records. The TypeIndex class is of particular interest, because it is used by clients as a handle to a type in the type table.
The library provides a relatively low-level interface based on the actual on-disk format of CodeView. For example, type records refer to other type records by TypeIndex, rather than by an actual pointer to the referent record. This allows clients to emit type records one at a time, rather than having to keep the entire transitive closure of type records in memory until everything has been emitted. At some point, having a higher-level interface layered on top of this one may be useful for debuggers and other tools that want a more holistic view of the debug info. The lower-level interface should be sufficient for compilers and linkers to do the debug info manipulation that they need to do efficiently.
